Certainly it can be one of the signs.

It took me years to realise it wasn't normal to have that sort of thought pressing on your mind every day of your life.

That it's not normal for the thoughts to get so bad at times you can't do anything but curl up and just weep because there's nothing at all you an do about it.

I like to think that I'm comfortable with it
but like you say, sometimes it hits you all at once and no matter how prepared you think you are, you're filled with sheer terror at the thought of it

there is a song by William Shatner that helps
